    Anyone having problems when paying with maestro. In the drop down menu doesnt give maestro as an option. Just mastercard visa and elv. Do you think this is a site problem or a very clever mistake so people have to take the credit card option

    Just went through the whole process, tried to pay using my electron card, then got the error message!

    Tried again, it failed again and now it's took me back to the search page, Grrrr!

    By the way, when it said payment failed, there was a note saying they don't accept Solo, so I can't understand why they are saying that if it is in the drop down list as a payment option?

    select "mastero"- spelling mistake
  • Just booked 3 adults, 3 kids to Dublin from Birmingham using electron - total cost 12p!! Can't quite believe it but have the confirmation email - our children have never flown so this is just a taster for them - I hope it works. Has anyone been on one of these flights before?

    We did the day trip to Dublin last year, none available on this promotion or I would have booked to do it again as I promised to buy a friend lunch in Dublin.

    Main tip is just as you leave the terminal building to the left of the door you'll find a desk where you can buy a family day bus pass for something like 7/8 euros which is the cheapest way of getting into the city centre. Board the express bus number 747 and it will take you about 30 minutes into town, if you are offered bus tickets on the plane do not buy them!

    Just realised what the problem may be. I am booking the flights for my parents in Ireland. So the flight is originating there and charged in euros so maestro may not come up as an option. I may have to pay by credit card.

    Thanks anyway

  • Finally managed to book a day trip from bournemouth to glasgow prestwick on the 27th May, am very excited!

    I mainly wanted a flight because we are off to turkey in october and my son who will be 4 in september has never flown before and seems quite scared so wanted to do a short flight to test the water with him so we could address any issues before our holiday. Am very very very pleased!!

    I booked using a maestro card but I told them it was a solo card and it went through ok - although they have charged £2 for each passenger for using it. I'm not being tight but I think it is wrong really because it doesn't warn you before you click confirm! It just adds it once you have confirmed which is really cheeky!!

    We took advantage of this offer last year and took our son to Dublin on his 4th birthday. We were a little apprehensive as he had never flown before either but he loved every minute of it. All for 3p too!
